Authors Note: Hii Everyone! So here is Chapter Two, I'm so excited hehe, so today I watched Episode 9, Dances with Wolfbloods from Season 2 and I loved it, looking forward to Episode 10 tomorrow. But, so far I'm happy with what I wrote in the last chapter, within about half an hour of uploading it I had my first Review/Follower and Favourite so thank you so much! You know who you are :) I'm hoping to continue this story, like I said in the last upload and I hope you will all support me! By the way, each chapter has a name and links to what's going on in the chapter, the last chapter was called Lost. This was because Maddy is lost with Rhydian and so is everybody else because everyone around Maddy doesn't know how to help her so in the same way, their lost as well. In this chapter, it's named The Truth Beneath The Rose... Shout Outs if anyone can guess the band yet.. No cheating though ;) Each chapter will be the name of one of their songs that also links with my chapters so yeah... Enjoy!


Chapter Two ~ The Truth Beneath The Rose ~ Rhydian's POV:

It'd been six months, 8 weeks and about 3 hours since I'd last seen Maddy Smith. It probably sounds sad that I have counted the time back to that horrid night when I left my only home. But truth was, I missed Stoneybridge so much. I miss Maddy, Shannon, Tom... Mr and Mrs Smith, The cottage, my foster family, the school, the woodland and even Jimi and the Three K's. I felt lonely. Like I didn't belong. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed being part of a pack but it wasn't my pack. When I was part of Maddy's pack, it felt right. Here? It feels like I'm just another male Wolfblood. I wish everyday that I hadn't of left but if I'd stayed then I knew the consequences. I wonder what Maddy would be thinking right now? Was she thinking about me? Probably not... She, on a ninety nine percent chance, hated me now. I didn't even say goodbye... It's not that I was being selfish it's just... I couldn't bare to see her upset. The way she looked at me when she drove away in the car was bad enough. And I knew she'd try to talk me out of it. She'd ask why I was going... It was a stupid decision. Leaving the only ever home I had in my entire life for a life in the wild with a woman who is supposed to be my mother but abandoned me when I was two. When you think about it, it sounds terrible. Errg.

Now here I am, lying on my back in human form, looking up at the starry sky on a cliff in Scotland, hands behind my head. My hair had grown to a ridiculous length. I'd started to get used to it. The pack were travelling West, towards Wales, to our 'pack's territory'. I couldn't care less where we were going because as far as I was concerned I was just getting further away from home.

Was I happy here? Truthfully... I thought... I wasn't, the happiest I had ever been was when I met Maddy and her friends, finding out she was like me, just a little more intelligent. She was always right when it came to our arguments. I needed to stop thinking about her. It was killing me. She was all I could think about. I never really spent time with the pack to be honest, I always kept my distance. A Lone Wolf. But then again, I always ended up with Bryn. He was alright. Ceri? She was my mum. Though she didn't really act like one.

Maddy was lucky. She had a family who cared about her, didn't abandon her when she was a cub. Who treated her with respect, trusted her decisions, with reasoning. They cared about her. Mrs Smith was the mum I never had and Mr Smith was the dad I've never known! If I ever had children or cubs, big if, then I would stay, I would follow in Maddy's dad's footsteps. I wouldn't be like most male Wolfbloods. I'd want my child to know their dad. I'd give them the life I never had.

I'm off again, thinking about Maddy... No matter what I talk or think about I always end up with Maddy. I was working myself up. I had to see her. No. I couldn't. The consequences were to great. I was to stay in the pack until I was an Alpha, when I turn 18, it'll be the day I find Maddy.

Third Person POV:

Rhydian groaned and rolled on his side in distress. He jumped as Bryn, his younger brother, snook up on him. Bryn sat down beside Rhydian but Rhydian turned in the opposite direction, refusing to make contact but this didn't stop the Wolfblood cub.

"Rhydian..." He began. Silence.

Bryan rolled his eyes and placed his small hand on his brothers side and pulled him over to look at him. "Rhydian! Listen to me" He pleaded.

Rhydian sighed and looked at Bryn. "What's up?"

"I'm worried about you Rhydian. I don't like you like this or mother. She is always going on about how you spent to much time with the Tamed girl. What's her name? Matilda? No.. Madeline!" He snarled when he said her name.

Rhydian bolted upright and his eyes turned a dark yellow, "Don't you ever call Maddy Tame!" He shouted fiercely, the last word ending in a growl full of malice and fury.

Bryn snarled back and carried on, "She is a Tame Rhydian! You don't belong here, all you think about is the Tame and it's traitorous!"

Rhydian moved forward, eyes still blaring yellow. "Don't. Call. Her. Tame." His voice deep and poisonous. Bryn took this as a warning and whimpered, he back down and snarled one last time before disappearing into the night. Rhydian sighed and rolled back onto his back. "I miss you Mads" He whispered into the darkness, the stars his only witnesses...

Maddy's POV:

I walked through the door to the cottage and ran straight upstairs, I threw my bag on the bed and pushed myself towards the mirror. I shook my head as I glanced at my pathetic face and then glanced at my watch. It was 6:31pm. I had about 20 minutes to get ready and then 10 minutes till I meet Shan. Make that 5 minutes. After all, I could run pretty fast. Can't think of a reason for that though. I smirked to myself. Tonight, I was going to have fun. Tonight I was going to be myself, with my friends. Rhydian was no friend of mine. He left me for the wild. But no matter now many times I told myself, it would never sink in. But I could try right?

I sighed and yawned. I was so tired. I shuffled towards the beautiful oak wardrobe that my dad had crafted himself. My dad had a real talent for wood. Rhydian has a talent with his drawings, his drawings were breath-taking... I opened the wardrobe and gazed at all my clothing inside. ''Parties...parties...'' I muttered to myself as I flipped through all the shirts and trousers etc. that were hung up. I must have made about 1000 sighs because I couldn't find anything. That's when my mam knocked on the door. I slumped onto the bed and let her in. She was carrying a plastic bag with something inside.

"Hey lil' cub, I brought something for you to wear tonight", Her mum unravelled the bag and pulled out a dark blue laced dress. It was knee length and stopped around the chest, it then went into a the dark lace that swirled around and into full length lace sleeves. I gasped as I saw it, usually I hated dresses, but this one was beautiful, it wasn't to flashy but wasn't something you'd find in a charity shop. No hate though...

"You like it?" My mum smiled warmly and took me on for a big bear hug. I hugged her back as tight as I could and grinned, "I absolutely love it!", with emphasis on the 'love' aspect.

My mum laughed and then she pulled out a box from the bag. I rolled my eyes as she handed me the box. It was a tiny black box with a single silver ribbon bow on the front. I took my time opening, careful not to damage what might had been inside. With that, for the second time that night, I gasped. It traced my finger carefully across a tiny silver necklace that had a locket on the end. The locked was a deep purple and on the front there was a forest scenery, within the scenery there was a tiny wolf howling at a brightly lit moon. I smiled. It was beautiful...

"Thank you so much Mam, it's wonderful, really. I'll wear them tonight" I grinned from ear to ear as we hugged again before she kissed me on the nose and took the plastic bag away with her, carefully closing the door behind her.

I stripped off my muddy school clothes and threw them in the wash basket at the end of my bed. Thank God it was Friday. Or I'd have to go to school tomorrow looking like a tramp. Not good.

Once all my clothes had been thrown I pulled on my rouge dressing gown from the hanger on the back of my door and I ran to the bathroom to take a shower. I was going to have a good night tonight, I could feel it in my bones. The pattering of hot steamy water felt good on my tarnished skin. I relaxed in the shower as I squirted shampoo into my dark hair and massaged it in. Leaving it for a few minutes I then afterwards, washed it out and ran conditioner through it. My mam had brought coconut and tea leaves shampoo and conditioner and truth was, it smelt delicious. I washed it out completely and climbed out of the shower wrapping myself in a towel I dried myself down and then pulled back on my snuggly dressing gown. It was oversized on me which made it more comfy because it meant that I could hide under it even more and it was the best in winter. I sprung back to my bedroom and then pulled on fresh underwear and then the dress. Perfect fit and I loved it. I pulled on a pair of skin coloured tights to hide my terrible legs, or at least make them look better and then a pair of black dolly shoes. Finishing off I unclipped the locket from the box and pulled it around my neck. The locket falling just on top of the lace. It went so perfectly.

I smiled again and then blow dried my hair. Once it was fully dry I retrieved my curling tongs and went carefully through my hair, making sure each curl was as more defined as the other. Once finished I left out two thin strands at the front of my hair line and then I pulled back each one to the side; sliding a hair clip in place. Perfect. Then lastly, before I'd be finished, I ran some lip gloss across my lips and smiled at myself in the mirror.

Then I heard a knock and the voices of Shannon and tom; my best friends. I grabbed a black shoulder bag and went to the window where my phone and purse was situated. I glanced out of the window and frowned. Someone caught my eye. In the middle of the garden something of a lighter colour was there. Prehaps something white? It was probably just a bit of litter but I couldn't help myself. I needed to know what it was so I grabbed my phone shoved it in the bag, instantly followed my my purse and on the way out I pulled the lip gloss from my vanity table and pushed it into the bag as well. I ran through the house and towards the garden. My best friends and my mam frowned as I ran past them at full speed and I reached the porch. I jumped down onto the grass and towards the middle of the garden. It was dark but I could still see it. As I got closer I frowned in disbelief. It was mid autumn? Roses had finished blooming at the start of Fall but much to my eyes disbelief there it was. A singular white rose had grown in the middle of my garden. I knelt down to get a closer look and carefully placed my fingers on the petals. It was defiantly real.

Within seconds my family and friends had poured into the garden and were standing behind me. "What is it Mads?" Tom piped up as my mum knelt down beside me to take a look. "A rose". She answered. "A white rose" I finished.

"But it's mid autumn?" Shannon said. "That doesn't make sense?"

I dug my hands into the soil and pulled the rose free. My mam stood up and looked at my dad. He looked back at her in the same concerned expression. "What?" I said as I stood up to face them, the rose laying across both my palms.

"Do you know what they say, what Wolfbloods say when a White Rose blooms out of nowhere in the wrong season?" My father said, looking at me and back at my mam.

I frowned, "What do they say?" We begun to walk back to the house as my mam continued:

"If a singular White Rose,
Should grow and not decay,
In an unexpected area and the wrong season of the day,
Then something peculiar is going to interpose"

"And what's that supposed to mean?" I replied, confused with the current ongoing events.

"It means that something big is going to happen", Shannon answered.

"Good or bad?" I said before entering the house first followed by the rest. Stopping once inside in the kitchen.

"Either" My mam sighed, "Take it upstairs and put it into an empty flowerpot from your window sill".

I nodded and ran upstairs, I placed the white rose on my desk and went to the window. Then I freed a flowerpot with only soil inside and brought it to my desk as well. I dug a hole inside the soil and embedded the rose's roots into it, then poured a little water into the soil from my water bottle and placed the pot in the corner of the desk. I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote down the lyrics of the poem in my best italic handwriting in silver pen and decorated the edges of the paper. I took a glue stick and stuck the paper onto the front of the flowerpot and kissed the petals of the rose. "Let's hope it's a good thing" I whispered before joining my best friends downstairs. I said goodbye to my parents as they wished us a good evening and the three friends left for the party...

Rhydian's POV:

I was still lying on top of the cliff when I heard a twig snap somewhere behind me. I sat up and scanned my eyes across the surroundings. There was a crescent moon high in the sky and it illuminated the area in a crystal like glaze. I relaxed as I saw a tiny mouse scatter past me in a hurry. I smiled, nature came alive at night and it was spectacular. As I turned my head back around I must've jumped half a mile because before me was a singular white rose. I frowned, it was unusual since it was the middle of Fall and they stopped blooming at the start of Autumn. I shrugged it off and carefully dug up the flower. I pulled out a cloth and laid it down on the soil. I picked up the white rose and cradled it in my hands, studying it. That was funny... White Roses were my favourite flower and it had suddenly appeared before me.

This rose... It reminded me of my best friend; Maddy. I frowed, totally confused and placed the rose in one hand, with the free hand I pushed my fingers into the soil beside me and tried Eolas to see what Maddy was up to. I wanted to make sure she was safe. The first scene I saw was her bedroom, she was sat on her chair to her vanity table, she was writing something, she stuck it to a flower pot. I read it,

"If a singular White Rose,
Should grow and not decay,
In an unexpected area and the wrong season of the day,
Then something peculiar is going to interpose"

I gasped but didn't pull away, I saw a White Rose in the flower pot, identical to mine. I glanced at Maddy as she stood up, kissed the rose and pushed her chair in. She look amazing, she was wearing a beautiful dress and her hair looked magical. She looked like a princess. She never usually wore stuff like this? She must be going out, I thought to myself as I tuned in again, she flew down the stairs and to her parents. "Have fun at Kara's party" Her father spoke before Maddy left with Tom and Shannon. I pulled out. I was back on the cliff, panting.

''Party?'' I whispered to myself, ''Kara's?'' I said again as I realised what it meant. It was Kara's 16th. Maddy was going, she looked so good. It was killing me inside. My heart ached. Shannon looked pretty as well. She was wearing a cream silky top with black skinny jeans. Her hair was curly and she had father earrings. Tom looked alright as well. I missed them all so much. My eyes grew sad and a tear formed but I held it in. I picked up the rose and recited the poe in my head before wrapping it up in the cloth carefully and laying it on my chest as I fell back onto the cliff's grass and closed my eyes... If we both had a rose, then something was going to happen, for both of us, I knew that it would be the two of us, but did she?
